“Thanks to Benztown Branding's Jingle Package, production library and affordability; us mom & pop owned stations can still compete on a production giant sound level, in the perpetually fortified imaging game of radio ear candy! Plus, the Benztown staff is always so reachable, prompt & helpful! Thank you for makin it (W-Y) E-Z!”

"Amaaaaazing work. You guys are geniuses! I like all the cuts and the treatment. This will blow the competition away. Not too EDMish and just the right sound for an edgy CHR station. Thank you for your greatness! Youre the best! Without a shadow of a doubt…"

Sergey Zelentsov Production Director Europa Plus Moscow, Russia

“Excellent job, guys! Easy to mix, easy to use! Nothing can replace a good and pleasant workflow! Thank you!”

Thierry Chamoux Program Director Europa Plus Moscow, Russia

“Super sound! Benztown team has showed high level and great quality of production again”

Brigada U Morning Show Team Europa Plus Moscow, Russia

„Cool, modern and fun! That what’s we need to wake up the whole country!”

“Rhythmic by Benztown is the ideal imaging library for Skyrock because it fits our format to perfection “Urban Music non stop.“ We play Urban tracks in their original, unedited version which makes us the number 1 Urban station in France. The sonic elements and daily updates in Rhythmic are cool and easy to use. The player is awesome for previewing tracks which are then easily downloadable. We especially like the sound effects and workparts because they are innovative and modern and enable our productions to really stand out. The sounds are current and correspond to what is hot today in Urban music. We always find what we need to constantly update our imaging. For example, when Skyrock sponsored the last Kanye West, Beyonce, Eminem and Rihanna concerts in France, we found a ton of imaging tracks that helped us create promos that matched Skyrock’s unique image-unedited and exclusive.
Bravo Benztown and thank you to the whole team for your great attitude and collaboration.”

„You’re absolutely amazing!!! My promos have never sound better… You’re challenging me in my writing now, how you had fun with the Cirque Du Soliel promo actually made me smile… it’s the little things that catch the listeners ears and make them notice without distracting them from the overall message. You’re exceeding my expectations! I’m grateful to have you on the team!!!“

" The jingles perfectly matches to the general package and logo signature of the station. It's solid and memorable, it is uplifting, and gives the smile to Europa Plus 11 millions daily listeners, Mission 100% achieved by Benztown."

“I have been in radio for 24 years this November, and these are the BEST jingles I have ever heard! Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.”

"I was wrapped in the results when Andy & Oli came to Bangkok and coached the production team for a few days. He took time to understand their culture and the way they operate as well as teach them some new skills that improved the standard of their production a great deal".

Dan Kelly Creative Services Director WPLJ/New York

Andy sent me the AC jingles you guys did the other day. I was BLOWN AWAY. Amazing work guys. Unreal. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.I mentioned to Andy the other day when I heard Benztown was doing jingles, I wondered if they’d be good since it’s not something you’ve done a lot of (to the best of my knowledge)….but not only were they good….They were stunningly awesome. Just great work. The harmonies, arrangements, the melodies…..Very sharp sounding and excellent. Can’t wait to hear the mixouts.

"Plain and simple..these jingles just sound fresh. It's exciting to have a jingle package that defines the sonic feel of today's, and tomorrow's Adult Contemporary radio".

Michael A. McVay Senior Vice-President

"The experience Benztown brings from a worldwide platform makes it more exciting than any jingle package I've ever heard."

Hi Guys, First, thanks for all your hard work on this project!
wow, great energy - everything sounds great…nice job!

Sergey Zelentsov Production Director Europa Plus Moscow, Russia

„I want to thank Andreas and Oliver for this jingle package. Great work has been done. And we can perfectly hear result: actual and modern sound, top arrangement and creative voice-processing. We just made another step forward so our competitors farther behind now. I want to cite the post which was made by one of our djs in social network: Yo! Europa Plus always had the best jingles in Russia, but this time… THEY JUST…. F*CKING AMAZING! =) Now they are… almost the best in the world! And I know what I talking about! Catch them on air and you won’t regret!!! They are mini-songs, they are the art they self!!! My ears are delighted!!! We all here share his opinion and appreciate your work very much. Thank you, guys!“

Roman Olegov PD Europa Plus Moscow, Russia

„Hi guys! What can I say? It’s easy: The first reaction about new package I received from our dj-guru Alex Manu. He said shortly “Wow! These jingles are made for excellent mixes!” I’m agree with Alex. This is the best description of the work you made, guys! Thank you. Good luck and let’s continue cooperation!“

„Thank you everyone! These sound great (no surprise there). You guys are the best!

Paul Duffy Imaging Director 98FM Dublin, Ireland

„Can I just say " Holy Fuck"! you guys are AMAZING!!! the stuff you guys produce is incredible and I love the blog. It really does help when you are having an off day or get stuck in a rut. Truly brilliant stuff!“

Andrew McBeth Imagineer Astral Radio Edmonton, Canada

„Your library sounds very SICK!!!! You ROCK at what you do!“

Carlo Jose Head of Production, 103.5 Wow FM Philippines

„Amazing work! We like it very much! Great Job! Thank you so much for your time and talent on this. Really appreciate it.“

„Soundquadrat has never failed us. To the contrary, when we hire them to do some jingles for Black Card Radio they always do something better than what we were even thinking of doing in the first place. Soundquadrat makes all of our shows, regardless of format, sound like the biggest and the best shows in all of radio. The imaging and music from their Stuttgart team is incredible and worth it, even if we had to fly to Germany for every single jingle!“

„Hey Andy, Just got the demos - GREAT JOB MAN!!!
I've been listening to them over and over and catch little touches you did each during listen - really nice work man - I truly appreciate the time you put into them!“

"I was blown away at the product Benz Town created for me. I knew it was going to be great, but the final jingles exceeded all expectations. Add to that the great communication and quality of personal service--these guys really cared about the sound of my station and what I wanted--I have a feeling we'll be working together for many many years to come!"

"Andy and Oli at Soundquadrat are audio visionaries!The package they created for us at 1043 MYFM in Los Angeles is amazing!"
"When branding a station or just about anything an acoustic ID is
essential! I'm sure the folks at Intel would concur! Soundquadrat
creates incredible acoustic I.D.'s that instantly brand your
station to listeners."

„When I first heard the sound² production package, I knew we had
something that would have cut through with the listeners. The style
was infectious and memorable, which are qualities every station needs for ratings recall!"
